AGV is releasing a limited edition of Valentino Rossi’s 2013 Pista GP ‘Soleluna’ helmet, that will be available exclusively from AGV dealers.
This limited edition helmet faithfully reproduces the graphics on Valentino’s 2013 race helmet (except for other sponsor’s logos, visor components and accessories).
The graphics were designed by Also Drudi and feature not only Rossi’s racing #46, but also his trademark signature symbols -the sun and the moon (sole e luna) and the Italian’s favourite color, yellow.
Here’s everything you want to know about the lid, again.
The Pista GP is a hyper-technological, ultralight racing helmet (M size weighs 1275g) and designed for sports and track use.
The width of the field of vision, weight and small dimensions, improved ventilation, the exclusive ergonomic design and the category leading aerodynamic characteristics set new standards of performance.
Designed with AGV EXTREME STANDARDS the outer shell is made entirely of layered carbon fibre available in 4 sizes, this is combined with a complex multi-density inner EPS lining and a unique seamless comfort lining design that enable the helmet to be perfectly fitted to the rider, by means of adjusting the head lining both in shape and pitch on the rider head.
The design is intended to cut to the minimum any interference with the racing suit and protective hump and to optimise safety even at high speed.
The spoiler has been designed to detach from the helmet in the event of an accident to increase the passive safety of the helmet.
The visor component area has been drastically reduced and this allows the space saved to be used to increase the thickness of the impact absorption material with all the safety benefits that brings.
The 3.
3mm flat racing visor can easily be removed, as can the washable inner components.
The visor is Pinlock ready and the helmet comes with a Pinlock, a pack of tear offs and a set of earplugs in the box.
Hand made in Italy and built with protection of the environment in mind: the Pista GP is designed and made in Italy by highly qualified craftsmen using the very latest technology.
Waterjets are used to cut the carbon fibre shells, the painting system uses eco-compatible water based paints and a dust suppression/residue treatment system is in operation throughout the entire factory.
